We utilized all the amenities and the spa and dining was also superb. This time I stayed with my family and the experience again was exceptional. Specifically we have an 18...

My husband and I had a hectic trip lined up so we decided having a restful place to stay would be perfect for us -- and the new Villas at Bernardus are spectacular. We loved the room (and the food) so much that we only left for appointments and then were so happy to come back. HIghly recommended. Wonderful staff...

I just woke up from my first night of a three night stay and my body is all achy. The bed is so hard. Even the feather top doesn't help. Not the way I want to wake up from my vacation.
Yesterday when I checked in, no...

Dear misstrip10,
Thank you for choosing to stay at Bernardus Lodge & Spa. I am so sorry to hear that you were disappointed with several details on your stay. Our goal is to always provide the best possible service our guests come to expect and deserve. By your feedback, we certainly did not succeed in meeting nor exceed your expectations....

The entire experience was a pleasure starting with Travis who took the reservation, to welcome upon arriving, the grounds, the room, the bar/grill, spa, to the Mercedes SL that you one can take for a four hour drive, and staff. Would absolutely come back again. Very restful and relaxing.
